Using Render hosting app to deploy my project- Error Cannot find module - deployment

Question

Follows Heroku becoming a paid app, I am trying other options.
Does anyone have experience uploading a MongoDB server-based project to "Render" Application Hosting?
This is the repo I want to deploy:
https://github.com/myyoss/FUNDLE_A_WORDLE_CLONE
On the app settings I use for the Build Command: "yarn" (and it seems to works cause I get "Build successful" message).
But for the Start Command I can't get the correct command/path.
I keep getting this error:
==> Build successful :
Oct 7 06:41:33 PM ==> Deploying…
Oct 7 06:42:01 PM ==> Starting service with ‘node dist/server.js’
Oct 7 06:42:06 PM internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:888
Oct 7 06:42:06 PM throw err;
Oct 7 06:42:06 PM ^
Oct 7 06:42:06 PM
Oct 7 06:42:06 PM Error: Cannot find module ‘…/routes/userRoutes’
Can someone please take a look at the repo LINK and tell me what I'm doing wrong?
On an other project I used "node dist/server.js" for the Start Command and it worked just fine.

Answer 1

I think your problem may be here, where you use "../routes/userRoutes". You want to use "./routes/userRoutes" since the location of that file is relative to the root directory, ./
This answer may be helpful re: routing errors, and Render's quickstart for Node/Express is also worth a look.
